Certainly The Lounger, nor any other

dream-that the National Opera Com

heard and admired in Wilmington. But
such is the case and the Opera House

day February 9th will unquestionab.v
gather within it's walls not only the
musical people of Wilmington but from
the entire state as we'll Their appear
ance in Wilmington for even one night
Is genuine surprise to every one and
an apparent concession on their part to
visit city with population of less
than hundred thousand at least. This
company which has been so exhaustively
and frequently reviewed in this depart
ment is the largest and most complete
travelling companies ever known, besides
containing an ensemble equaled by few
European companies. The selection of
Delibe's romantic opera, "Iakme" is per-
haps the most unfortunate part of the
matter, for while it shows to splendid
advantage the spectacular and artistic
capabilities of the company it fails to
bring out the real power and grandeur as

The funeral of Miss Debbie J. Kimble,
on Thursday, the Goth, from the resi-
dence Of her uncle, Lewis Thompson, near
New London, was large and will doubt
less be long remembered, especially by the
many young person present, as thoughts
were stirred and impressions made that
will not be easily forgotten or efiaced.
The Rev. Branford of Oxford conducted
the serxices, assisted by Rev. Brady of
New London, and the discourse, AS by re-
quest of deceased, was to the living, and
especially to the young. 1t was thought
full, stirring, and at times eloquent, NOV
ing the emotion. Many II tear fell
around the early bier Of her who was so
generally beloved, for seldom does the
casket contain or death embrace lowell
lier form. The choir of New London NJ.
f. Church, of which she was Il member,
sang "Home, Sweet Home" "Come,
Angel Band" And God be With You
Till We Meet Again" The first two
were selected by the deceased, the latter
being among her last words. A beauti-
full floral harp with one chord broken,
stood at the head of the casket, and was
the grateful offering of the choir, who la

and seat vacant in their circle. Having
just completed her nineteenth year,
which proved to be the last mile stone
on the pathway of her life, her earthly

morning star that fades amid the blaze of
the rising sun

buildings and apparatus are standing
idle, .and, in fact everything is suited for
a normal course. This is nothing new.
Ohio University, situated at Athens,
Ohio, was in the same position as Della
ware, and they introduced Normal
School which soon increased the number
of students. Many students after enter
ing the normal course saw the advantage
of college education and took up the
full course. With these suggestions l
close, hoping that the trustees will do
something to revive our college, which
is dying for the want of students.

we told you yesterday the
French Sateens were here.
Our hint sent them flying.
Why shouldn't it? You like
them at the first glimpse. So
bright, SO modest. Not al
ways easy to be bright and
modest at the same time. The
designs a little more pro-
nounced-some of them-than
last year, but none obtrusive.
No big staring figure makes
you forget all else. The sheen
of the fabric, and the blended
colors live in your mind as a
perfect picture.
Don't ask us to describe the
designs; more than a hundred
of them; may be more than
two hundred, all new in some
thing, but not easy to put in
words. You'll say meat,
pretty charming" when
you see them. We say so too
and always add modest
Take one Of them ; small
cream dots with cute little tails
in clusters and singly, by twos
and three, scattered over a
heliotrope ground just as rain
drops might fall. The heller
SHELTER way of putting on the
designs is a favorite this year.
You'll find it in dozens of the
Sateens.
But there's method too. The
cluster stripes are as formal as
hedgerows, SO are the dotted
stripes, the pin stripes and the
dainty checks. You admire
them because they are so prim
and precise, just as you fancy
the others because of their
unruly ways.
The magic is in the color
blending as well as in the fig
ures-the dashes of gold on
blue, of cream on blue or gar
net.

You have seen some of

LEDGER, from Progress" to some
portions of which we cannot wholly
subscribe. of course we are in
favor of a State Normal School and
we are also in favor of placing DR..
Raub at the head of it, because of
the fact that he is the only man in
the State who is thoroughly ac-
quainted with the normal school
work of the different States. But
we see some difficulties in the way
Of connecting the Normal School
with Delaware College.
In the first place the bylaws of
that institution provide for the ex-
clusion of ladies, and inasmuch as
the chief part Of the Normal School
Will consist Of ladies, these and the
school they represent are naturally
shut out. Even our correspondent
argues that the evils resulting from
co-education in Delaware College
were a sufficient cause for its aboli-
ton. D." True, we might have two
separate schools in the same build
ing, but whatever evils may be Incl
dent to co-education would not be
thereby removed.
We do not agree to the objections
urged by our correspondent against
locating the Normal School in the
Academy building. The students
attending that institution represent
all shades of religious preference.
There are Methodists, Episcopalians,
Baptists, Roman Catholics, Presbv-
terians, and Friends there at pres
ent, and all denomination are cor
daily received. OF course the State
would see to it under any circum-
stances that the Normal School
would be non-sectarian. No danger
need be feared on that score.
We understand the Academy
building is really considerably larger
than the Normal School buildings
in Virginia, West Virginia, and
many of the Western States. The
buildings for the Pennsylvania
schools are large, but it is the opin-
ion of those best informed that it
would be better if the buildings had
been made less extensive even in
Pennsylvania. At any rate We
think the Academy buildings would
be ample for the present, and the
trustees, having spare capital at
command, would gladly increase
the size of the buildings as rapidly
as might be needed for the accom-
mediation Of the school.
We hope to see the college increase
in numbers, and we acknowledge
that the Normal School would be of
great assistance to it, but we think
our correspondent fails to see that
additions must necessarily be made
to the faculty, and thus extra ex-
penses be incurred, if the Normal
School were connected with the Col
lege. The present faculty could not
with their other duties also teach
the classes in the Normal School.
What our correspondent means bv
the general unftncss of the loca-
ton, i'll speaking of the Academy
building we do not understand The
building is, we think, beautifully
located, and was repaired at consid-
cradle expense during the past sum
mer, so that it is in good condition.
Teachers are beginning to look to
it and its faculty us the Mecca to
which they must turn for special
preparation for their calling, and we
think we speak within bounds when
we say that if it be made the Normal
School Of the State, the school will
be crowded constantly from all parts
Of Delaware

Let us try it again. The expenses of
one who has a state scholarship at Della

are $50 less, making Sl53 per wear which
is just the amount they pay in Ohio in
Guiding tuition.
But that is not all, it is stated that some
Of the students in the Ohio college re-
duce their expenses to $l2O year. This
is impossible, at the present time, in Della

MEssRs. EDToRs.-I wish to inform
the public, through your paper, that false
reports have gone out about me, ill-treat-
ing the blind preacher, who has been
preaching at the Union A. NJ. +. Church
for near two weeks. 1t is reported by
some of our members that on last We'd
nesday evening, January 10, led the
blind preacher out of the church and left
him on the street by himself and went
back in the church and shut the door. |
wish to explain what l did. | went TO
church that evening not knowing who
was to preach. Presently the blind
preacher was led in, as the pastor was
not present. went up to entertain him
in the pulpit. When l spoke to him he
did not recognize me. His guide had
withdrawn from the house. The preach
err started to perform the services. saw
he was not able, so l called the only
trustee that was in the house, to 90 and
hunt the guide. l thought the guide
might not return very soon, so / decided
to lead him to his boarding place. told
him he was not able to preach and to
follow me. With all the care could
take led him to the steps of the house.
l met his guide here. | did not let 60 of
him until the guide had taken hold on
the other arm. Being provoked l re-
buked the guide for bringing HIM to the
church in the state he was in, and told
him TO take him on home
decidedly pronounced the man drunk.
On the next evening, the pastor publish
ed that l had made false announce
ment, to which accusation l am not
willing to submit. Well l suppose
am wrong. As the blind preacher claims
the title of d. d. NJ. d. he claimed to be
stricken with heart disease on Sunday
evening, January 10, which was caused
by and worrying with Greek and Latin,
and the grammatical phrases of English
clash. Finding himself in the public
news" on Monday, Jan IL, he few off the
handle, and on Tuesday, Jan. IS, he was
straight-out in bed, and summoned two
men to write his will and prescribing for
himself All the time l have decided
where the mistake is. He has added a
double dose of Jersey lightning" to his
single dose of "kill-me-quick," and it
started the battery the contrary way
The pastor threatened that if did pub
lish in the defense of myself he would
silence me. So ifhe does, shall put in
the time advocating the Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union, to which claim
the rights Of nearly every member.
